TO REFORM THE TARIFF.
The Administration Said to he In Favor
of a Wholesale Reduction.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May S1.-A Wash
ington dispatch To the Times says: For some
days there has been more or less Informal
talk in administration circles on the tariff
question. From intimations dropped in
those quarters it may be announced that
Secretary Fairchild is seriously contemplate
ing movement, with the appreciation of the
President and his colleagues, looking to g
concentration Of the Democrats i'll the House
of Representatives and the Senate upon
measure of tariff reduction. After care
full inquiry it has been ascertained
that every member of the Cabinet is favora-
bic to such a programme After the expert
ence of the past two congresses the President
is convinced that but one course remain,
open 10 the Democratic party, and that i.
the formulation of a bill i'll consultation With
such men as Randall and Carlisle and others
representing the diverse position of Demo
cratic sentiment on the subject for the pur
pose of bringing them together upon some
common ground OF agreement
The President has seen for some time that
an issue will be made on the tariff, and has
urged that it would be more sa-aclous TO get
to work at once and prepare a bill to be sub
mitted TO Congress as a measure of admins
tration policy than to let the question con-
tinue to play havoc as a firebrand in the
ranks of the party. 1t is proposed to make
the bill an administration question in the
House and thus bring it before the people as
a distinctive issue, upon which the Demo-
cratic party will stand in the campaign.
Judging from the present situation Of
| affairs among the party leaders it will take a
| large amount of pressure to bring the op-
| poSite views of MeSsrs. Carlisle aud Randall
| together 1t has been suggested in Treasury
circles that Kentucky whisky influences the
tobacco men. and the protection Democrats
can only reach a basis oil settlement by pool
| Ing their differences, and envolying some
sort OF a compromise. If this should fail 4
| bill will be prepared at the Treasury supposed
| to strike between these conflicting interests
| Secretary Fairchild is very decided in his
advocacy of reduction of revenue from Gus
| toms The necessity OF some action Of this
| kind, he thinks, will make itself felt very
soon. The accumulation of surplus will now
20 on steadily and will lead to formal action
OH his part before the Cabinet as soon as the
! first indications manifest themselves in the
monetary operations of the people, The
| theory of reduction will be in placinc
raw materials, like iron and wool, on the
! free list and reduction of rates OH certain
manufacturer. There is an idea, notwith
standing the ruinOus importatons at present
rates, that certain manufacturers of iroI
and steel can stand n reduction. Members oi
the administration believe there is point al

THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION.
A Colored Mans Complaint of Discrimi-
nation.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The Interstate
Commission yesterday issued an order to the
Georgia Central railroad. requesting the
officials of that road 10 make answer to the
complaint that they We're discriminating
against the cOlOred race. The complainant
is a negro named William II. Council who
AYERS that on account of his color he was for
cibly elected from first-class car after hav-
inc paid for first-class ticket He asks that
the commission award him So, 600 damages
and such other relief as it may deem proper
AS burlesque on Councils complaint, there
is another coming from a white citizen of
Georgia alleging that the Georgia Central
refused to permit him to ride in the "Jim
Crow car, as the car set apart for colored
passenger is called.
j. T. Tucker, assistant general manager of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul railroad
company, has made answer to the complaint
prepared against that company before the
Interstate Commission by the Burton Stock
Car company The answer broadly denies
the jurisdiction of the commission to grant
the relief prayed for or any other relief upon
the allegations made III the complaint a.
j. PoppletOn, as attorney for the Union Pa
cifc railway company, makes similar answer
to a like complaint by the Burton Stock

the State Farmers Alliance OF Minnesota.
transmits long list of requests by the execu-
tive committee of the alliance looking to q
vigorous enforcement of the Interstate
Commerce law, especially that par: relating
TO the long and snort haul. The alliance
takes the ground that such business interests
as can be sustained only by reason of the
suspension Of the fourth section ought not to
be sustained at all
LONDON, June 1.-The Times, in an article
on the cause contributing to the present de-
preston of trade, and especially the recent
falling OFT of foreign commerce, attributes
the situation to the American Inter- State
Commerce law, particularly the long ard
short haul clause, and the increase by Russia
and Canada OF import duties on iron.

The enterprise will at once have a non par

the northern people. Grant was generous

Some Pinkerton Stories.
One cf the Great Detectives Tells
of Their Exploits.

81 don't know of anything further to
say just now than that we haye always
done the business of the Adams express
company since 1859, and we are eSpec-
:ally pround of this case. We COM
menced with the $50, 900 robbery, COM
mitted by Nathan Maroney at Mont-
gomery, Alabama, which was done by
my father and George II. Bangs, late
superintendent Of the agency, now
dead. At that time the agency was
unknown outside of Chicago. Mr.. E.
s. Sanford, then the president Of the
Adams express company, counseled
with Robert Boyer, a New York detec-
tive of that day, regarding the heavy
robbery at Montgomery, and Boyer
said that he only knew of one man in
the country-a detective who had the
pluck and resources to stick to the mat
ter and follow it up to a successful con-
clusion; and that was Scotchman who
lived in Chicago named Allan Pinker-
ton. Sanford hooted at the idea of 60
ing to western village to find detec-
tive; but on Boyer persisting, Sanford
sent for Pinkerton to come to New
York. The case was placed in his
hands and after seven months of hard
work $40 900 of the money was recover
ed at Jenkintown,a "a suburb of Philadel-
phia, in the original package it was
stolen, and Maroney, who had been the
agent of the company, was sent to the
penitentiary for ten years. A very
elaborate receipt for this work now
hangs in our office in this city.
The next Adams express robbery was
in 1868 on the Philadelphia, Whining
toh and Baltimore road, in which $780,
600 was stolen. Under our direction
all the thieves were arrested and con
yicted. The next was 5000, 900 rob-
berry on January 6, 1866. stolen from
the Adams express messenger on the
New Y ork and New Haven road at Co.
scoD, Conn. The money was all recov-
cred by us and the robbers imprisoned
for long terms.
"The fact is,' said Mr.. Pinkerton,
"we haye never lost case for the Ad-
ans express company in thirty years.
Whenever robbery occurs on their
lines they give the Pinkertons carte
blanche to get the robbers first and the
money afterward. The motto of the
Adams people is never to compromise
Or compound with thieyes and they
will follow thief to the end of the
world who depredates OH theirproperty.
At one stage of the present case we
were led to suppose that Wittrock had
escaped to Australia, and was arrang-
ing to start there for him."

The Treatment for a Cold.

The Monthly Magazine London l
reports DR.. Graham as saying that it
is not correct practice, after a cold
is caught, to make the room person
sits in much warmer than usual, to
increase the quantity of bed clothes,
wrap up in flannel, and drink large
quantity of hot tea, cruel or other
slops, because it will invariably in
crease the feverishness, and in the ma
jority of instances, ,prolong rather than
lessen the duration of the cold. 1t is
well-known that confning inoculated
persons in warm rooms will make
their smallpox more violent by aug
menting the general heat and fever !;
and it is for the same reason that
similar practice in the present COM
plant is attended with analogous re-
suits, cold being in reality a slight
fever. In some parts Of England,
mong the lower order of the people, a
large glass of cold spring water, taken
on going to bed, is found to be a sue
eessful remedy, and in fact many med
ical practitioners recommend re lne
ell atmosphere and frequent dr. aughts
of Geld fluid as the most efficaeious
remedy for recent cold, particularly
when the patients nabit is full and
plethoric.

A Pointer.

One of our neighboring exchanges
says something about the way to in
crease and build up town. 1t is
as true as gospel and we wish every
citizen of Morgantown would com
nit to memory the paragraph below
and act upon its suggestions:
When a man in search of loca-
ton or home goes TO place and
finds everything brim full Of hope
and enthusiasm over the prospects
Of the place, and everybody earnest
ly at work to build up the town, he
soon becomes imbued with the spirit,
and as result he drives down his
stake and goes to work with the
same interest. When, however, he
goes to town where everyone ex-
presses doubt and apprehension as
to the future prosperity of the place,
moping about indulging in com
plants about imaginary evils likely
to befall the town. he naturally feels
that it is no place for him, and at
once shakes the dust from his feet
and pulls with all possible speed for
some other town. Consequently try
to make live, enterprising and pro
gressiye town out OF the one you live
in. When you are working for or
saying good thing for your town
you are accomplishing all the more
for yourself.
